Dragon Quest is a series of role playing games made by Enix (now Square Enix) for a variety of video game platforms. The series has featured 8 games within the main series, as well as several spin off games.

Each game in the main series of games it titled with the name 'Dragon Quest' followed by a roman numeral. Typically, each of the games in the main series feature turn-based battles, medieval weapons and armor, and an experience based level system for the main characters. It is often compared with the Final Fantasy series, created by Square Soft. Although the Dragon Quest series started before Final Fantasy, it continues to lag behind in the number of games within the main series (8 versus 12 total games).
